Cricket is one of the sports in which a team needs the support of all their 11 players to win a match. A side rarely wins a game on the back of an individual&#8217;s performance. If the players perform to the best of their abilities in their respective departments, then the chances of their side winning the match are quite high. But, sometimes against all the odds, some players end up performing extremely good or bad that can be reckoned as out of the league. These type of performances gives air to some unexpected records at international level.

It is all about having one good day. If a bowler is having a good day then he can pull off some brilliant performances in any department of the game and the same goes with the batsmen as well as fielders. So, we are here to list out some unexpected records held by cricketers that a fan cannot forget ever.

Top 5 unexpected records held by cricketers:

1. Ajit Agarkar&#8217;s fastest fifty for India in ODIs

India has produced some big sublime hitters in its cricketing history with the likes of Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni and many more. This list comprises of those players that earned their name as some of the most destructive batsmen in international cricket. But, none of them holds the record for hitting the fastest fifty for India in ODIs.

Fans will be surprised to know that the fastest fifty for India in the 50-over format was scored by none other than the former Indian fast bowler, Ajit Agarkar. In 2000, on a fine day, he came out to bat in the 44th over of the innings against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ireland-and-zimbabwe-agree-to-postpone-odi-and-t20i-series-amid-coronavirus-pandemic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zimbabwe</a>.

He took the charge from the very first ball of his innings and ended up scoring a fine knock of 67* off 25 balls studded with four sixes and seven boundaries. It was one of his fine days in cricket as he managed a three-fer in the same game. It&#8217;s been two decades but that record stands till date in Indian cricket. Agarkar bid adieu to cricket back in 2013 from all forms of cricket.

2. Sir Don Bradman averaged 99.96 but hit only six sixes

Sir Don Bradman is an all-time legend of cricket. He was a player born to play the gentlemen&#8217;s game, who ended up setting a benchmark for the upcoming generation. The right-handed Aussie legend was no less than a nightmare for the bowlers.

In his illustrious Test career, he amassed 6996 runs in 52 Tests for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/david-warner-shaves-off-his-head-in-support-of-medical-workers-nominates-virat-kohli-and-his-australia-teammates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Australia</a> at an average of 99.94. It is the highest average in the history of cricket managed by any player. His stats speak a lot about his calibre when it comes to batting. But there is a surprising fact for the fans related to the same.

Bradman never liked hitting sixes. In his 52-Test long career, he smacked only six sixes and it is quite an amusing fact for a fan to know. Moreover, he had never smacked a single six in 234- first-class games. It is shocking but true that the legendary batsman from Australia was never on good terms with sixes. 

3. Chris Martin and BS Chandrashekhar has more wickets than runs scored

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-410663" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Chris-Martin-and-BS-Chandrashekhar.jpg" alt="Chris Martin and BS Chandrashekhar" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-410663" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Martin and BS Chandrashekhar. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

It is known that in cricket scoring runs is a relatively easy task than taking wickets. If we talk about the bowlers, then their stats will also show that they have more runs in comparison to the wickets they have taken in their overall cricketers. But, there are two players, who have changed the order which is quite surprising to know.

Yes, Chris Martin, the former medium pace bowler from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-no-1-team-cant-be-beaten-like-this-wasim-jaffer-shows-his-disappointment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Zealand</a> and BS Chandrashekhar, the former leg spinner from India did something that no other player could manage to do in their cricketing career. These two players have taken more wickets than runs scored in the longer format.

Martin grabbed a total of 233 wickets and mustered 123 runs whereas Chandrashekhar accounted for a total of 242 wickets and with 167 runs to his name in his Test career.

4. Sanath Jayasuriya has more ODI wickets than Shane Warne

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-410691" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sanath-Jayasuriya.jpg" alt="Sanath Jayasuriya" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-410691" class="wp-caption-text">Sanath Jayasuriya. (Photo by Hamish Blair/Getty Images)</figcaption>

In sports, the calibre and greatness of a player is defined by the performance he gives on the field. And, each performance gets recorded in a statistical format in the cricket books. Now, what if we say that Sanath Jayasuriya, the former opener from Sri Lanka was a better bowler than Shane Warne in ODIs?

Shane Warne, the former leg spinner from Australia is undoubtedly one of the best spinners in the history of cricket. He grabbed a total of 1001 wickets across all the formats. And, it is most by a bowler in international cricket. But, at one place Sanath Jayasuriya left him behind when it comes to bowling.

Jayasuriya has grabbed more wickets then <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-or-brian-lara-shane-warne-picks-his-preferred-choice-to-bat-in-any-conditions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shane Warne</a> in ODIs. Yes, the former Islander ended up taking 340 wickets whereas the former Aussie leggie ended up with 293 wickets to his name.

5. Misbah-ul-Haq&#8217;s fastest Test century

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-410693" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Misbah-ul-Haq.jpg" alt="Misbah-ul-Haq" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-410693" class="wp-caption-text">Misbah-ul-Haq. (Photo by Warren Little/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The fans will be shocked to know that Misbah ul Haq, former <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/umer-khan-would-be-in-my-pakistan-t20-world-cup-squad-dean-jones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pakistan</a> skipper holds the record for smashing the fastest century in Test cricket. It is a surprising fact given that he doesn&#8217;t have even a single century in the ODIs and  was called &#8216;Tuk-Tuk&#8217; batsman by the fans due to his batting approach. Misbah ended his career a strike rate of 44.53 in Tests, 73.75 in ODIs and 110.20 in T20Is. But in the 2nd Test of the two-match series in 2014, he ended up with a strike rate of 177.19.

He took charge against Aussie bowlers from the word go. Misbah smacked the opponent bowlers all across the park. In the end, he managed to pull off an inning that no one had expected from him, not at least in Tests. He scored a 56-ball ton studded with 11 boundaries and five sixes against one of the best teams in the world.

His swashbuckling knock helped him in becoming joint-fastest Test centurion with Sir Viv Richards. In that game, Pakistan defeated Australia by 356 runs.

Cricket is one of the sports in which a team needs the support of all their 11 players to win a match. A side rarely wins a game on the back of an individual’s performance.
